I am trying to add extra lines in my Form but it seems to be getting ignored. I have a similar set up as django inlineformset_factory extra attribute being ignored? but without the base model. I have tried to implement that solution but was not successful. Does anyone have a solution to add extra lines in my form?
Here is my code:
Models.py
class Disease(models.Model):
disease = models.CharField(max_length=300, verbose_name="disease")
def __unicode__(self):
return self.disease
class Indicator(models.Model):
relevantdisease = models.ForeignKey(Disease, verbose_name="disease")
indicator = models.CharField(max_length=300, verbose_name="indicators")
def __unicode__(self):
return self.indicator
Forms.py
MAX_INDICATORS = 3
class DiseaseForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Disease
class IndicatorForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Indicator
DiseaseFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Disease,
Indicator,
can_delete=False,
extra=MAX_INDICATORS,
form=DiseaseForm)
IndicatorFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Indicator,
IndicatorValue,
can_delete=False,
extra=MAX_INDICATORS,
form=IndicatorForm)
Views.py
def drui(request):
if request.method == "POST":
indicatorForm = IndicatorForm(request.POST)
if indicatorForm.is_valid():
new_indicator = indicatorForm.save()
diseaseInlineFormSet = DiseaseFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=new_indicator)
if diseaseInlineFormSet.is_valid():
diseaseInlineFormSet.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse(something))
else:
indicatorForm = IndicatorForm()
diseaseInlineFormSet = DiseaseFormSet()
return render_to_response("something.html", {'indicatorForm': indicatorForm, 'diseaseInlineFormSet': diseaseInlineFormSet},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Updated code: Now that 1 disease will be linked to multiple indicators, I can get extra lines. However, now the problem is that whenever I save my indicators and choose a disease from the database, a NEW disease will be written to the db that links to the indicators.
Views.py
def drui(request):
if request.method == "POST":
diseaseForm = DiseaseForm(request.POST)
if diseaseForm.is_valid():
new_disease = diseaseForm.save(commit=False)
indicatorInlineFormSet = IndicatorFormSet(request.POST, instance=new_disease)
if indicatorInlineFormSet.is_valid():
new_disease.save()
indicatorInlineFormSet.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse(valdrui))
else:
diseaseForm = DiseaseForm()
indicatorInlineFormSet = IndicatorFormSet(instance=Disease())
return render_to_response("drui.html", {'diseaseForm': diseaseForm, 'indicatorInlineFormSet': indicatorInlineFormSet},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
forms.py
class DiseaseForm(forms.ModelForm):
disease = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Disease.objects.all())
class Meta:
model = Disease
class IndicatorForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Indicator
IndicatorFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Disease,
Indicator,
can_delete=False,
extra=MAX_INDICATORS)
HTML:
{{ diseaseForm.as_table }}
{{ indicatorInlineFormSet.as_table }}
